The slope of the function on a displacement vs. time graph is (change in displacement) divided by (change in time) which is just the definition of speed. A relatively steep slope indicates a relatively high speed.

What does a less steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate?
A less steep slope indicates a slower velocity than that of a steeper slope.
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicate large velocity?
yes
Does a steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a very large velocity?
Yes it does. Velocity = Displacement / Time. On a graph of displacement vs time, the slope is the velocity. Steeper slope = higher velocity, flatter slope = lower velocity.
Does A steep slope on a displacement vs time graph indicates a large velocity?
Yes.
Is A steep slope on a displacement vs. time graph indicates a large velocity.?
Not necessarily. The slope could be steep but negative, and since negative numbers are less than positive numbers, no. But in both cases, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is great. Also, at each point in the displacement vs. time graph, you can only get instantaneous velocity. A curve on the graph will indicate an acceleration. The next antiderivative of acceleration is jerk. According to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the more certain you are of a particle's position OR velocity, the less certain you can be of the other property. On the displacement vs. time graph, either the particle is at a certain displacement and the velocity unknown, or the velocity between two points is known, but the displacement is unknown. That is, the velocity can be known between two points, but the particle resides somewhere between the two points at that time. The exact position is uncertain. Schroedinger had a cat. He put it in a box, and having no way to tell if the cat was alive or dead, it must be assumed to be both, simultaneously. But also because it is either alive or dead, and not both at once, yet also not partially one or the other, it must be assumed to also be neither at once. So Schroedinger's cat was both alive and dead, though it was neither. By corollary, the particle whose trajectory is described by the displacement vs. time graph has no velocity and has velocity at the same time.

What motion does a steep slope on a distance time graph show?
Steep slope on a distance/time graph indicates high speed.
What does a steep curve on a line graph indicate?

A steep slope on a phase change graph indicates?
Heirhey
Does a line on a graph become less steep when the distance increases?
No. The distance of a line on a graph will not affect how steep it is. Distance does not affect slope.
What in a position time graph a steep slope indicates?
I Dont know sombody help me on this an I'm on a quiz (:
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a?
Widely spaced contour lines indicate a gradual slope, while closely spaced lines indicate a steep slope.
What is an example of an equation that makes the graph of y equals x less steep?
A slope greater than 1 makes a graph be really steep. On the other hand, a slope less than 1 but greater than 0 makes a graph less steep. Therefore any fraction slope would give you a less steep graph.An example could be y=(1/3)x.
